📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • HyperFleet API requests now use the ServiceAccount authorization scheme with ServiceAccount tokens.
  • Documentation

    • Updated configuration, deployment, and authoring guidance to describe ServiceAccount token authentication and the corresponding authorization header format.

Walkthrough

The HyperFleet API client now sends configured tokens with the ServiceAccount authorization scheme instead of Bearer. Client comments, authentication types, tests, configuration examples, deployment guidance, authoring guidance, chart documentation, and the changelog were updated to use the new scheme. Token retrieval and error handling remain unchanged.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 01dba

Deployments enabling ServiceAccount authentication will be unable to make authenticated HyperFleet API requests unless the client and API contract are coordinated before merge.

Require encrypted transport before sending the ServiceAccount token.

When auth.token_path is configured, the client sends the projected token in the Authorization header. The default http://hyperfleet-api:8000 URL therefore exposes the token to network observers. Reject non-HTTPS API URLs when authentication is configured, and retain certificate validation. Update configs/adapter-config-template.yaml, charts/values.yaml, and charts/README.md so the documented defaults cannot enable this combination.

Use the Bearer scheme for ServiceAccount tokens.

The adapter sends Authorization: ServiceAccount <token>, but the API accepts only Authorization: Bearer <token> and returns 401 for other schemes. Update the client, this documentation entry, docs/deployment.md, and the related tests.

Preserve the API authentication contract.

When AuthConfig.TokenPath is configured, internal/hyperfleetapi/client.go:343 sends Authorization: ServiceAccount <token>, but hyperfleet-api accepts only Bearer. Authenticated requests therefore fail with invalid credentials (CWE-287). Keep Bearer here, or update hyperfleet-api's JWTHandler, shared architecture documentation, and all affected tests in the same rollout. Adapter documentation changes alone cannot fix this runtime failure.

Same as the sentinel PR, one change before merge, the scheme needs to be a config value rather than a constant.

Same issue as openshift-hyperfleet/hyperfleet-sentinel#264. The API's JWT middleware only takes Bearer, so a hard-coded ServiceAccount breaks JWT_AUTH_ENABLED deployments without the gateway and the operator-managed API, and blocks 1484. Suggest a Scheme field on AuthConfig defaulting to Bearer:

scheme := c.config.Auth.Scheme
if scheme == "" {
    scheme = "Bearer"
}
httpReq.Header.Set("Authorization", scheme+" "+tok)

Infra sets ServiceAccount only when EXT_AUTHZ_ENABLED=true.

Needs a scheme: Bearer value here, surfaced as HYPERFLEET_API_AUTH_SCHEME alongside the token path and cache TTL env vars so the helmfile can set it.

This sits under Fixed but it's a behaviour change, and a breaking one for in-app JWT users if the scheme stays hard-coded. Move it to Changed, and mark BREAKING unless the default stays Bearer.
